Congratulations for both. Using LXDE on a Pup was a significant departure and worthy of larger recognition.

VoidPup was the first of a new breed of Pups - one that uses official package manager of the adopted repos; long time coming, but the result is a more powerful Pup for all. Surely paves the way to a better future for all Pups. Only caveat: sysVinit. I'd go for runit in a later build if I was you (or did you already? - can't check right now) - runit pretty much as powerful/convenient/efficient services management as systemd, but without systemd... and would increase VoidPups overall compatibility with upstream Void packaging all the more (and, important... I've never heard anyone say anything negative/bad about runit).

Is there a LXDE addon which will work with Bionic 32? I want to check it out.

Yes - ydrv - visit viewtopic.php?p=550#p550 click the link and scroll to the bottom of the page.

Thanks, I did see it after I've posted and downloaded it. Will check it out.

[amethyst]

Okay, I've checked it out. I can see why it would appeal to some (especially new users). It does take a bit more effort and knowledge to get JWM and ROX-filer configured the way you want it but I don't see any real benefits using LXDE instead. Matter of choice I suppose, I'll stick with JWM and ROX-filer.

A patch has been identified - a new version of aufs-5.10/15/16 is expected

There seems to be an aufs problem with kernel 5.16.12........
The system crashes when creating the new savearea on shutdown
The error messages mention au_fsctx_parse_monolithic
which is a function in: kernel-kit/aufs_sources/fs/aufs/fsctx.c

The workaround is to create an empty savefolder before booting the system.... or revert to 5.16.7

@Marv @mistfire @BarryK may be interested

I will raise an Issue on aufs at Github.

LATER: also applies to kernel-kit 5.15.25 - tested with slacko64_8.2.2-147
and also 5.10.103

[mistfire]

@peebee

Thanks for notifying the problem. That was too close on my side, which nearly published on next iteration of QuickPup64. I will stick to 5.16.10 for a while. Did you report it to AUFS developer?

[peebee]

J. R. Okajima has produced a patch for the aufs crash on shutdown and a new version of Kernel 5.16.12 has been built and uploaded.

Kernel-kit Github kernels 5.15 and 5.10 will still crash until an aufs update is issued.

Quick check here, clean shutdown now, post final save e2fsck check I have in my rc.shutdowns is happy.

Thanks,

Mr. peebee
5.16.13 is snappy & aufs happy.
Arigatô to all...

AUFS has been updated..... 5.16.16 is available - see above.
